Arsenal news roundup – 21/02/15 : Wenger confirms Henry’s appointment

In some exciting news, Arsene Wenger has confirmed that the king, Thierry Henry, has indeed taken on a coaching job with the Arsenal Youth Academy.

During the press conference ahead of the Crystal Palace clash, the boss also condemned the racism incident by a group of Chelsea supporters at the Paris Metro.

Wenger claims club legend could become future Arsenal manager.

Thierry Henry is among the Premier League’s all-time goal scorers having scored 175 goals in the competition in Arsenal colors. Since retiring from professional football in December last year, Henry has taken on a job as a pundit at Sky Sports. However, what has been on everyone’s lips is whether the 1998 World Cup winner with France will take on the management job at Arsenal during the post-Wenger era.

Rumors of Henry being at the front of the line to replace Wenger at Arsenal have run riot, especially after the 37-year old took on a coaching role at Arsenal’s Youth academy earlier in the week.

A couple of days ago we ran an article on Atletico Madrid’s interest in Arsenal’s ambidextrous midfielder Santi Cazorla. This was after established Spanish journalist Guillem Balague revealed that Diego Simeone’s side were confident about signing the Spaniard, despite being 30-years-old.

A section of Chelsea supporters were captured on camera racially abusing a black passenger in the Paris Metro following their Champions League clash against Paris Saint-Germain. They were chanting “we’re racist and that’s the way we like it”, something that has been not only an embarrassment to Chelsea FC but to English football as an entity.

Henry retired from professional football towards the end of last year and is currently a pundit at Sky Sports. The king moved to Barcelona in 2007, before making the switch to the New York Red Bulls three years later, where he retired.
